A vivid blend of history and travel and a sweeping story of
collaboration and resistance, fear and heroism, pacifism and
sacrifice all set against the backdrop of the Pyrenees. Over the
fifteen years Rosemary has been living in the region, the more she
realised she didn't know about the war; about the French during the
Occupation, the real role of the Resistance, the level of
collaboration, the concentration camps in the Pyrenees and the
treatment of Jews and other refugees. It is still very much a
veiled history and most of the archives remain firmly closed. LOVE
AND WAR IN THE PYRENEES is a portrait of human tragedy, heroism and
cruelty that will create a picture of the period from a
contemporary angle, the history linked to sights that can still be
visited, and brought to life by letters, interviews and encounters
with people today, including the historians currently trying to
investigate what really happened.
